"I knew perfectly well that I had a
soul, but I did not understand what that soul merited, or Who dwelt within it,
until I closed my eyes to the vanities of this world in order to see it. I
think, if I had understood then, as I do now, how this great King really dwells within this little palace of my soul, I
should not have left Him alone so often, but should have stayed with Him and
never have allowed His dwelling-place to get so dirty."
'The Way of Perfection', St Teresa of Avila
